¹Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia [land of the Galli, Gauls, A Celt] , even so do you2f .

²Upon the first [day] of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as [God-The Father] has prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

³And when I come, whomsoever you2f shall approve by [your] letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] .

⁴And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.

⁵Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia [extended land] : for I do pass through Macedonia [extended land] .

⁶And it may be that I will abide, yes, and winter with you, that you2f may bring me on my journey to wherever I go.

⁷For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to wait a while with you, if the Lord - Kurios permit.

⁸But I will wait at Ephesus [permitted] until Pentecost.

⁹For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and [there are] many adversaries.

¹⁰Now if Timothy [honoring God] come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he works the work of the Lord - Kurios, as I also [do] .

¹¹Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.

¹²As touching [our] brother Apollos [given by Apollo (etymology uncertain)] , I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient (fit; appropriate; proper (one’s own; peculiar; particular)) time.

¹³Watch you2f , stand fast in the faith, keep on you like men (behave/act as a man should) , be strong.

¹⁴Let all your things be done with charity.

¹⁵I beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) you, brethren, (you2f know the house of Stephanas [crowned] , that it is the firstfruits of Achaia [trouble] , and [that] they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)

¹⁶That you2f submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helps with [us] , and labours.

¹⁷I am glad of the coming of Stephanas [crowned] and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.

¹⁸For they have refreshed my Spirit [Ruach] and yours: therefore acknowledge you2f them that are such.

¹⁹The churches of Asia [orient] salute you. Aquila [an eagle] and Priscilla [ancient] salute you much in the Lord - Kurios, with the church that is in their house.

²⁰All the brethren greet you. Greet you2f one another with an holy kiss.

²¹The Greeting of [me] Sha’ul [desired] with my own hand.

²²If any man love not the Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] , let him be a thing set up or laid by in order to be kept Maranatha [our Lord - Kurios comes] .

²³The grace of our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] [be] with you.

²⁴My love [be] with you all in Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation] . Amen. <[The first [Epistle (important or formal letter)] to the Corinthians [satiated] was written from Philippi [lover of horses] by Stephanas [crowned] and Fortunatus and Achaicus and Timothy [honoring God] .]>
